Rajkummar Rao is all set to star in a biopic on Srikanth Bolla, a visually impaired industrialist, who didn`t let adversities come in the way of his ambition and laid the foundation for Bollant Industries. The film, tentatively titled `Srikanth Bolla`, has been written by Sumit Purohit and Jagdeep Sidhu, and will be helmed by Tushar Hiranandani, who earlier directed `Saand Ki Aankh`.
Talking about his character, Rajkummar Rao said, "Srikanth Bolla is an inspiration! It`s indeed a privilege to play such an inspiring persona who has been through a lot of hardships and despite that has risen like a phoenix! I am really looking forward to playing Srikant. I`m happy to collaborate with Bhushan sir yet again on this compelling project."
